Hello

Do not delete any system files unless disk cleanup will do.

Run DiskCleanup - start - all programs - Accessories - System Tools - Disk Cleanup

Good alternative to free - CCleaner - disk cleanup

CCleaner - free

Otherwise you should only delete the files you created, maybe copy it to CD/DVD and/or uninstall
programs that you have previously installed.

This will show you how disk space is being used.

WinDirStat - free - use it to determine which fills up your disk space.

I hope this helps. Rob - bicycle - Mark Twain said it is good.

    In the Finder, and then to the library I have two files, one is called caches and cookies to others.  What is inside them can be deleted?

    I have an iMac running macOS Sierra 10.12.

    Thank you

    Select this option.

    There are actually several 'library' files in the Finder and it is better that you don't mess with them.  Most browsers have ways to delete the cookies in the browser itself and adjusting the size of browser cache.  Caches speed up the operation of the computer, and unless you have a specific problem, you have not and should not, remove them.  At best he probably will do nothing, and at worst you may have to reinstall your operating system.

  • EULA.RTF files can be deleted?

    I have 30 of these files and want to remove them and just leave them alone. I got the error as the eula.rtf file cannot be deleted. Does anyone have a solution?

    Hello lwgreen,

    The eula.rtf file are End User License Agreement. They are stored on your drive when you install applications. The reason why you can't delete the files, is that you don't have the property rights to the files.
    To change the property:
    Right click on the folder parent of these files and do a right click on this folder.
    Click on properties.
    Click the Security tab.
    Click the Advanced button.
    You will need to change the property using change of ownership to your user name.
    Once you are the owner of the folder and all subfolders and files, you can delete them.

    I hope this helps.

  • session of system update files can be deleted?

    It seems to me that ThinkVantage System Update must keep everything that it downloads.

    I now have on my T60 about 7000 files (2.5 GB) of files under

    C:\Program Update\sessions of Lenovo.

    Who doesn't clean up after itself?

    Can one of these files deleted safely?

    It is ridiculous to consume more disk space as it does.

    Thank you.

    You can delete everything except system temp, QuestResponse.xml and updates.ser. If you remove those, update system will not be able to start.

  • If the temporary file can be deleted salely

    the temporary files in the windows folder can be removed safely

    Yes, they can and must be removed periodically.

    The temp folder provides workspace for programs. Can create programs
    temporary files there for their own temporary use. Each program should
    delete all temporary files when it closes, but for various reasons
    It is not always the case (for example, if the program crashes, it)
    never gets to do). That is why it is a good idea to periodically
    clean up anything left there.

    Also note that there are some program installations that work in two
    steps. The first step concludes by writing temporary files and
    reset. The second stage starts automatically after reboot and
    needs to find those files here (and then removes them when there
    fact).

    Other than to do it automatically on reboot (which would interfere
    with facilities like the kind I described), it is always safe to
    Delete the contents of the temp folder. Because it is safe to delete
    all the temporary files that are not open and currently in use by an application, and
    because Windows won't let you delete open files, it is safe to (try to)
    remove them at any time. If one does not delete, because they are open.
    they will be automatically deleted when the application using their
    shut up, or you'll get them next time you manually remove.

    Some people may suggest that you restart before deleting anything, but
    It is not necessary, for the reason stated above (on the other
    hand, it's not bad to do).

  • My folder of outlook express has 2.4 GB of info, what files can I delete?

    I transfer my Outlook Express to Windows live and wanted to know if I needed all the files in there, like Deleted Items.bak, Spam.dbx and others.

    I delete anything until you get things moved.  Messages can import dbx files and you might need the bak files.  Wait until it is finished and is saved and then you can get rid of things.
